In this era of pursuing health care, people are always looking for various expensive maintenance methods.
However, the best maintenance is actually around us - a cup of tea and a leisurely mood are the most beautiful way to maintain health in the world.
Tea is first of all a gift to the body.
A cup of tea contains the essence of nature. The antioxidant effect of tea polyphenols can delay aging; the calming effect of theanine can soothe nerves; and the vitamins and minerals in tea are the body's natural nutrient bank.
These natural nutrients are far better than artificially synthesized health products.
But the maintenance of tea is not just about its ingredients.
The process of tasting tea itself is a kind of physical and mental repair. When we hold a cup of hot tea, the warmth is transmitted from the fingertips to the whole body, and this temperature can gradually relax the tense body.
And the fragrance of tea can soothe the tired brain. This natural relaxation cannot be replaced by any high-tech massager.
The maintenance of tea is that it teaches us to slow down. In this fast-paced society, we are always in a hurry, but forget to stop and feel life.
A cup of tea gives us a reason to temporarily put down our mobile phones, stay away from the pressure of work, and focus on the moment of tranquility.
This kind of spiritual rest is the best anti-aging remedy.
Tea tasting also teaches us the wisdom of moderation. Tea is expensive in moderation.
A cup of tea is not about the strength, but whether it is suitable for your physique. This reminds us that the way to maintain is balance, and too much is as bad as too little.
Many people pursue various maintenance products and health methods, but they are counterproductive. And those who understand the tea ceremony can often find the best maintenance state in moderation.
The maintenance of tea is also reflected in its cultivation of our concentration. Brewing tea requires concentration, and tasting tea requires more peace of mind.
When we concentrate on observing the stretching of tea leaves and listening to the rhythm of water, this concentration itself is the best exercise for the brain.
In this age of easy distraction, keeping focused is the secret to staying young.
Drinking tea is also a way to maintain your state of mind.
Each kind of tea has its own unique character: green tea is fresh and refined, black tea is warm and mellow, oolong tea has a long lasting flavor, and Pu'er tea is steady and profound.
Tasting different teas is like talking to different wise men, which can continuously improve our state of mind.
And the improvement of the state of mind is often reflected in the face, which is what tea people often call "temperament health".
The way to maintain tea is that it teaches us to synchronize with nature.
Drink green tea in spring, taste clear tea in summer, sip oolong tea in autumn, and drink black tea in winter.
Adjusting tea drinking habits with the changes of solar terms allows our bodies to better adapt to the rhythm of nature. This way of life that conforms to nature is the most fundamental way of maintenance.
The most valuable thing is that tea maintenance has nothing to do with age. Cultivate the habit of tasting tea when you are young, and you can still draw nutrients from tea when you are older.
Tea accompanies us through the long river of time, allowing us to remain elegant and calm as time passes.
Therefore, the best care in the world is not expensive skin care products, nor high-end medical projects, but a cup of ordinary tea.
It not only nourishes our bodies, but also nourishes our souls.
Let us put aside our anxiety about care, return to the true nature of tea, and find the most natural and lasting beauty in the fragrance of tea.
